The Orangemen were led by third-year head coach Ossie Solem and played their home games at Archbold Stadium in Syracuse, New York.
The team was co-captained by guard Hugh "Duffy" Daugherty, who would later become a Hall-of-Fame-inducted coach at Michigan State.
The Daily Orange predicted before the season that Syracuse will beat all the team except Duke.
It was Gerald Courtney the Syracuse all-American who ran the only scoring goal down the sidelines for 74 yards.
The Charlotte Observer Sports was quoted saying "Gerald Courtney and his orange henchmen couldn't stop the Blue Devils".
